WASHDAYS

Directed by Simon Neal

Kyle is 11 and he has an embarrassing problem. His mum doesn’t help, in fact she makes things worse. When she writes a note to his teacher stating the unvarnished truth, he bunks off school and goes in search of his own solution. Unfortunately, it seems like everywhere he turns for help is a dead end. This is a kid who suffers from wetting the bed. Desperate to find a solution he makes a drastic move( shop lifting to get a diaper) that finally gets his Mum's attention. Washdays honest style means that Kyle's angst and embarrassment is keenly felt throughout but thankfully a cuddle goes a long way to making things better, in this award winning short.

My two daughters watched this film. They were both very empathetic towards Kyle. My younger daughter who is still in the phase of wearing a princess dress almost all the time and fancies herself to be a budding fairy, said if Kyle lived next door, she would take her fairy princess magic wand and create a spell that would stop the bed wetting instantly. And it that should fail, since spells sometimes don't turn out the way you expect them to, she would make sure that whatever became wet would instantly become dry. She then twirled on her princess slippers, pulled out her fairy wand and banished bed wetting throughout the world. Ahh, if only it were that simple.
I happened to be perusing Italian modern furniture styles while the girls were watching the movie. We were moving into a very contemporary house in Connecticut and I wanted to up grade a number of pieces of furniture. A friend who lives in Philadelphia told ne about a local furniture store that is an authorized dealer of the most respected Italian furniture designers and manufacturers available here in the states. I smiled when I read the store's philosophy " modern isn’t just a decorative style, but an attitude, an attitude that both reflects and enhances the sophisticated taste and refined style of contemporary homes." Opps, I guess I was approaching this wrong since I was looking at the furniture from a decorative approach. As it turns out, I loved a number of the designers that the store, room service 360°, offered. And by mixing manufacturers I ended up with an eclectic look that complimented our extraordinary contemporary abode. BTW, Washdays is a delightful short.
